Well I gotta get it registered so I'll have to pay more if thats the case! I just gotta get this taken care of very soonly!!!

What did they fail you for? From the mods in your sig (below) most of these parts they will not be able tell if they are afermarket, injectors, pcm, pulley no smog guy would know those arent stock. AEM is C.A.R.B.ed so if you dont have the sticker they will send it to you all you have to is email AEM. If its just your downpipe, try to find a stock one for sell, it maybe cheaper then paying for an under the table smog.



AEM COLD AIR INTAKE, 3" CA DOWNPIPE, 3" ALTERED ATMOSPHERE EXHAUST, VIBRANT MUFFLER, DEBADGED, 19" ADR PROPULSION RIMS, 60LB INJECTORS, 2.9 PULLEY, ZZP TUNED PCM, PROJECTOR HEADLGHTS, BLACKED OUT TAIL LIGHTS, HIGH MOUNTED SPOILERket

Could but then I would have to get emissions done there lol. That means I would have to drive me car 3000 miles, too much!! Someone brought to my attention that if I have a misfire that could make me fail. ANYONEin the area work on our cars that can fix that for not too much money??

Put a stock dp on and get the carb number from AEM and your good to go, see if anyone on the forum has a stock dp they can loan you or swap out with yours for a day or too. High flow cats fail sniffer 80% of the time. Now that your a Gross Polluter you have to go to a test-only or gold shield smog shop.

Also if go to DMV and show them you failed the smog you can buy a pass to put in your back window so you can still dive the car around. It's a 30 day pass, but ive been nice to the person at the window and asked if they could make 60 days and they hooked it up.

Gross polluter probably due to the missfire. Fix the missfire and put the stock cat back on. Retest and done.
